The company already received an investment from GM GM.N but it looks like Lyft is shifting more to Alphabet, which has its own autonomous auto development platform Waymo. The $1 billion injection goes to show that the two companies are committed to taking their relationship forward.

Uber, which has a valuation of almost $70 billion, is widely expected to seal a deal for a major investment from Japan's Softbank, which could allow some stakeholders to cash out.

With the extra billion, Lyft would be able to ensure its independence for the near future, something co-founder John Zimmer has said is a priority.

Lyft added that less than 0.5 percent of miles traveled in the United States happen on rideshare networks, creating a "huge opportunity" for the company. Waymo previously confirmed that it's going to work on a self-driving vehicle project with Lyft. Since the lawsuit was filed a year ago, Alphabet has forged a close relationship with Lyft.
